The Sniper Elite is a 3rd-tier class introduced in Valkyria Chronicles 2 and can be promoted from Snipers. They are part of the Scout Class Tree. Wielding auto sniper rifles capable of firing 3 consecutive shots, they can kill most infantry units, even crouched ones, and deal heavy damage to bosses. However, their minimal HP, AP and Defense make them extremely vulnerable in close to mid-range combat.
